Seeing the reactions of his daughter-in-law and grandson, Old Master Shen didn't offer much explanation. He simply finished drinking the milk on the table, wiped his mouth, and then spoke.
"Li Chu's parents saved Lao Wang in Nanniwan. As for saving us, it was in the early days of liberation, and that incident also resulted in the sacrifice of Li Chu's parents."
Pan Juan and Shen Yi had no idea about these things.
Pan Juan was still a student at that time, not to mention Shen Yi.
“I also talked to Li Chu yesterday, and I wanted to let the two children get to know each other, but he was a little hesitant.”
"Hesitate? Why? Is my son not good enough for his daughter?" Pan Juan put down the bowl in her hand, her tone quite displeased.
She felt that, putting aside the fact that he was her husband's savior, her son was more than a match for his daughter.
"Hehe," Old Master Shen chuckled upon hearing his daughter-in-law's words.
"Don't be upset. That girl from the Li family has quite a few suitors. I heard that a couple of years ago, Old Wang personally acted as a matchmaker for his comrade's grandson, but Li Chu refused outright. Think about it, given the relationship between their two families, if they can refuse outright, then it's perfectly normal for them to refuse your son too."
Besides, they didn't refuse, they just hesitated, which is already giving me a lot of face.
"Xiao Yi, you can try getting to know that girl first. If you really don't get along, Grandpa won't force you."
"I understand, Grandpa. Don't worry."
Old Master Shen looked at his only grandson with satisfaction and nodded happily.
...
After Li Chu finished breakfast and took Ding Qiunan to the hospital, he had Xiao Tian drive him to the central command.
Having been away for so long, many of the prescriptions I wrote before need to be readjusted.
If those leaders were even busier, they might not have been able to finish today.
On the way, Xiao Tian, who was driving, suddenly said, "Boss, you may not know this, but the central government now allows outsiders to go in for sightseeing on weekends, but the area is designated."
Li Chu, who was leaning back in his chair lost in thought, didn't react to Xiao Tian's words for a long time before he understood what they meant.
You mean tourists are allowed to go in?
"My apologies for not being clear. Staff members in Beijing can apply to their employers, and then their employers will collect the tickets on their behalf."
That makes sense, but why haven't we heard of it in later generations?
That must be because it was only open for a short time, and probably encountered various problems, so it was canceled.
The car arrived at the west gate of the central area. Li Chu got out of the car, showed his work ID at the gate, and walked straight in.
When he came out again, it was already dusk.
Once he was in the car, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Let's go, Xiaotian, take me home."
To be honest, it wasn't that tiring; it was mainly because the waiting time was too long.
Leaders' time is extremely valuable, and it also shows how much they have no control over their own lives.
Their time doesn't belong to themselves; almost every minute is decided by the staff of the General Office, the various directors and deputy directors, the work secretaries, and many other people.
Unfortunately, when you enjoy certain rights, you also have corresponding obligations.
Just like Uncle Wang, he was still traveling abroad during the Chinese New Year, and even when he was at home, none of his three sons were by his side.
There is simply no way for them to reunite with their families like ordinary people.
"Daddy Chu, Daddy Chu, I have something to tell you, Sister Hui went out on a date today."
"Wang Yueyue, you little brat, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
"Ah, Daddy Chu, help me!"
As soon as Li Chu entered the house, before he could even react, his ears were filled with the laughter and chatter of Li Wenhui and Wang Yueyue.
He cast an inquiring glance at his wife, who was sitting on the sofa doing needlework.
Ding Qiunan glanced at her daughter, who was tickling Wang Yueyue on the sofa, and said with a smile, "This noon, Old Master Shen's grandson came to invite Wenhui."
"So fast?"
Goodness, the Shen family, young and old, are all impatient. They only talked about it yesterday, and they've already started doing it today.
"Stop fooling around, you two. Wenhui, come tell Dad what happened today?" Li Chu said after taking off his coat and hanging it on the clothes rack and sitting on the sofa.
Hearing her father call, Li Wenhui finally let go of Wang Yueyue and got off her lap.
Wang Yueyue was laughing so hard she was exhausted, lying on the sofa humming softly. It was a pity Li Wenxuan wasn't there at the moment.
She groaned for a while before finally getting up and moving to Ding Qiunan's side for comfort.
Ding Qiunan smiled and patted Yueyue's hair: "Why did you have to tease her for no reason?"
"No, I was just telling Chu's father the good news, not complaining about her."
After saying that, she glared at Wen Hui sitting to the side and muttered under her breath, "Hmph, just wait, I'll get my revenge one day."
Xiaoshuting app
Sigh, this is a typical example of someone who's bad at games but loves to play.
"Wenhui, tell Dad, what happened today?"
"Oh, Dad, it's nothing. I just finished lunch and Shen Yi came over and asked me to go out for a walk with him."
She seemed a little embarrassed, and blushed slightly when she said this.
"It's just the two of you today. How does it feel to get to know each other?"
Although she felt embarrassed to discuss this with her father, Li Wenhui thought about it seriously before saying, "How should I put it, Shen Yi is only four years older than me, but he seems to be very mature."
"Hmm," Li Chu nodded, "Anything else?"
"Dad, that's all. But I don't mind being around him."
Li Wenhui's words surprised not only Li Chu, but also Ding Qiunan and Wang Yueyue, who were sitting to the side but had been paying attention to the situation.
This was the first time she had ever said the word "not opposed." In the past, many boys had wanted to get to know her and ask her out, but she had never reacted this way. She always rejected them quite readily, even Xu Yang, the son of Xu Damao.
They could be considered childhood sweethearts, but Li Wenhui had never spent time alone with Xu Yang.
"Wenhui, it's up to you to decide. Dad will say it again: whether you want to date him or not is your freedom. But if you really don't have strong feelings for him, you must make it clear to him and not drag it out."
"Okay, Dad."
"Huh, where's Wenxuan?" Only then did he realize that someone was missing from the living room.
"Dad Chu, Brother Xuan is studying in the front yard. He said he feels particularly good today, as if he suddenly had an epiphany. He has figured out many things he didn't understand before, so he doesn't want us to disturb him. He wants to take advantage of this time to learn more."
